There's an old Country song titled, "You Gotta Have a License." This is true for any commercial (or non-commercial) radio station in the U.S. Well, a couple in Austin felt that the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) rules regarding licensing for the FM broadcast band didn't apply to them, so they put a "pirate" radio station on the air.

You're probably unaware of the fact that today, August 20th, is "National Radio Day."

Yes, the medium that started all electronic media to come after, has its own "national day." From Marconi's first transatlantic transmission of the Morse code letter 'S' ("..." or, dit-dit-dit) in 1901, to today's many choices for music, talk, sports, etc., radio is still the majority of peoples' choice for entertainment and up-to-the-minute news and weather reports.

Bobby will be one of the featured entertainers during the 2014 San Antonio Stock Show & Rodeo, which runs February 6-23. Bobby will join me for some live music in the KIXS 108 studio between 9-10 a.m. on Wednesday, then you can catch Bobby and his band at the

One year ago, on Monday, October 1, 2012, I stepped into the KIXS 108 studio to become the new morning personality. I knew this wasn't "just another radio gig;" KIXS 108 has been the #1 station with listeners in the Crossroads region for years and years. Before coming to South Texas, I was the afternoon drive personality at KDXY-FM (104-9 The Fox) in Jonesboro, Arkansas for almost 9 years...also, the #1 station in that market.
